I finished A Prayer for Owen Meany this morning. This book was both wonderful and sad. It has restored my love for John Irving. It's a book based on friendship, family, and faith. It took me a long time to finish the last 50 pages, because I kept crying through the paragraphs. Owen Meany makes me want to be a better person.
The book was nothing like the movie Simon Birch. In the movie, the begining was the same, but Owen ended up becoming a hero at the age of about 12. I'm glad that the story and Owen's life was longer than that in the book.
